using command 'git rebase -i -r DEST' fails with "error: refusing to update ref with bad name 'refs/rewritten/Release-170-1020-Rev-D.'" git is taking the commit message and turning it into a reference name that is not valid (because of the period in the message)! This requires a bunch of manual editing of the todo list. git version 2.24.0 Thank you, Robert Blenis
